ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for separating article groups from a stream of flat articles, comprises an inclined chute on which a stream of flat articles arranged in an edgewise standing, face-to-face oriented, stacked relationship are advanced, an article group receiving arrangement situated downstream of the chute, a pickup base arranged for movement from a discharge end of the chute along the article group receiving arrangement while being in a face-to-face contact with an advancing leading article; a separating gate arranged for introduction between two adjoining articles of the article stream and a common drive for moving the pickup base parallel to the direction of article advance and for moving the separating gate, during displacement of the pickup base, away from the chute, from a point above the chute along a path of displacement that causes the separating gate to penetrate progressively between two adjoining articles of the article stream as the article stream advances.
